Another Interview
I'm on my way to another interview, this time with Swedish Hospital. Yes, I already accepted the job at UWMC, and I'm a week into orientation, but I figure it'll be worth my while to attend this interview to see what's up at Swedish. It's another chance to wear my suit with the too-tight pants; and that's always a good thing! I'm concerned about how to answer any questions about where I'm working currently or when I'd be available to start working if offered this position. I think it would seem rather flakey if I told them I just started a new job but am looking for a change. Oh well, I guess I'll ad lib something. Maybe I'll tell them I prefer to work at Swedish and that will make them feel special.

The job I'm applying for is in the Emergency Department which is more fun than Oncology. (Plus I think chicks will think it's cooler?) It's much closer to my house so less money to pay for gas. At Swedish, I'm thinking there will be a greater possibility of working overtime if I so choose since there are numerous job openings for Unit Coordinators all over the hospital.

On the other hand, the advantages of the UWMC are that, well, I already have a job there and the people seem nice. They have a good benefits package but, I would assume, so does Swedish. At UWMC I'm working for the State of Washington which somehow makes me feel more secure and they have a pension plan. But that's probably foolish. Anyway, I'll see what I'm offered and go from there.
